I hear an echo in here ... I've asked about this before (no answer
did I see). My suggestion, to alleviate one of the two concerns, is to
have a mode like private which would allow people in the same general
domain to access the server if the userid and the general domain part
were the same.
That problem would help people on clusters who have no choice of
where their mail comes from (please, I know machines can be changed, but
the people on my list can't do that). For example:
Current: [log in to unmask]
and [log in to unmask] are no the same.
New: [log in to unmask]
and [log in to unmask] are equivalent.
So is: [log in to unmask]
But not: [log in to unmask]
I'd settle for just that part.
The other problem is the one of people on a re-distribution list of
some sort. I have two ideas on that:
Either: a new field (settable only by a list-owner) could allow
postings from a specific high level domain which would be associated
with that entry (up to 3 values, wildcards allowed):
[log in to unmask]
would allow postings from *.cc.school.edu to go through or not.
OR if a posting comes via a NETNEWS type machine, a post through that
machine would be allowed regardless of poster or not.
Failing all of that, I would settle for getting a copy of any
postings sent to a "private list" that were rejected so I can work out
putting a dummy entry in it for each person, but I like the first idea
better.
